We're excited to announce that registration is now open for Hope’s 2026 Community Engagement Summer Camp!
Our inclusive summer camp welcomes children, teens, and young adults ages 9–21, including campers with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. From June 8 to July 31, campers will spend eight exciting weeks (Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm) enjoying field trips, group adventures, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences throughout the Anchorage community.
Community outings will include The Alaska Zoo, Anchorage Museum, Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Williams Reindeer Farm, Flying Horse Equestrian Center, LLC, Anchorage Trolley Tours, The Anchorage Fire Department, The Musk Ox Farm, Alaska Native Heritage Center, Alaska Botanical Garden, Campbell Creek Science Center, Eagle River Nature Center, Hope's Willow Ranch, and more.
Campers will enjoy creative activities such as tie-dyeing, designing custom camp gear, creating ceramics to take home, building garden fairy houses, making sensory bottles, and designing costumes and animal masks. They will participate in scavenger hunts, kayaking and water sports, hiking and sightseeing, hands-on science experiments, track car races, puppet shows, and team-building challenges. Throughout the summer, they’ll also enjoy social events and celebrations such as barbecues, dance parties, bowling, talent shows, and an end-of-camp karaoke celebration.
Apply today! Limited financial aid may be available and will be awarded based on demonstrated need and the availability of funding. The deadline for all financial aid requests is May 27.
